lyrics

I woke up in the dark, in the night
but the curtains weren't the curtains
and the walls wasn't white.
But I was still the beast, and you still the light
as them outside they roll in delight.

You told the walls and the face on the door
that we was going nowhere,
and you ain't going no more.
I folded all the laundry, you spilled your drink on the floor
as I anxious pegged you for a fright.

By the middle of the night, little baby wants to bob,
little babe get it right.
I'll always be your mama just as long as you like
because I guess that I think it's alright.

You woke up, though you usually sleep tight,
put a blanket on the kettle, burned your wrist on the right.
Left-leaning little lover, you're the passionate type
so don't try and make this alright.

Because by the middle of the night, little baby wants the bob,
little babe get it right.
I'll dress up as your mama just so long as you like
because I guess that I think it's alright.
